My Left Foot
I usually don't pay any attention to my ankles. I think that my legs are one of my best features but my ankles and feet are just normal. Until my ankle goes away. One time my ankles swelled to a point where it looked like my legs ran directly into my foot. It felt like it destroyed my best feature. How can my legs look good if they don't end right

I'm so sorry. I totally get this. I've now sprained mine so many times so badly that I pretty much wrap-and-go using canes... the last time was a couple of years ago tho - falling down the stairs holding K. Something had to give and it wasn't going to be her. My left ankle was black & purple for 4 weeks.
But I've managed to avoid bone spurs and fractures so far (I think, I've stopped going to doctors about ankles)
Deep, deep sympathy no matter what tho.
I usually remember at least once a week to take a few moments to appreciate the ability to just walk normally - b/c it's such a fricking pain when you can't. And you always swear you will appreciate it when you can again - but most don't. I suspect you'll be joining me in my weekly appreciations soon enough.
That said - I remember you in the ER... scarily calm when I drove you there that one time you tried to slice your finger off at work at the hotel. I'd forgotten it entirely until I read this - first time I had to watch someone stitch someone else up. No wonder I surpressed it.
((hug))
Feel better soon!!!

I seem like such a Drama Queen when it isn't that major but that is the way it feels. It feels like the world is ending.
When it is major, then things just need to be done. There is no drama.
I remember your post about falling with K. I figured she gives you a +4 to your dex roll so she can end up on top of a fall like that. Mommy a good squishy landing pad. The only problems is when they jump up and down when it is over and say "Do it again, do it again, Weeeee"
